Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs called them “magical and revolutionary,” and in terms of their impact on the modern employee, he was correct. The iPhone and iPad which run on Apple’s iOS operating system have become critical tools in the workplace. In some cases, these devices have replaced laptop use, and they are potentially relevant sources of electronically stored information.
For litigators, knowing what information is available on iOS devices, the questions to ask, and how to best extract the available data is critical. Currently, iOS devices include the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Apple TV. While each device runs iOS, different models and generations of these devices will have features that are unique, and affect the types of data that can be found on a particular device. For example, the iPhone will have a call log, the others will not. All newer devices will have iMessage, but only iPhones and cellular iPads can send true SMS (text messages). Similarly, cellular iPads will have GPS data, but the wi-fi only version of the iPad will not.
